"My journey with the Crescive Method has been eye opening in so many ways to say the least.  These masterclasses have really given myself the confidence to take things to the next level.  I came here a hobbyist grower with the love of the art and have gained experience and skills that will last a lifetime.  The classes are presented very professionally and the information can be easily understood.  Scott and Sara have been great mentors with a vast amount of knowledge, along with the rest of the forum crew.  Can't thank you enough for offering real quality information that consistently produces real quality results.  Much love and respect."

"The Cresive Method Basic Training course was the catalyst to my 7 years of shoot from the hip living soil studies. For example, while I knew calcium was important, Scott and Sara taught me "why" and what ratios, painting a clear picture that tied all the tidbits I'd gathered around the subject. Another great takeaway is clearing up all the bad habits that we practice in living soil systems that we "think" are beneficial to biology, never having quantified our practices under the microscope. I found myself humbled by this scientific approach, seeing just how in the dark I'd been operating. The classes were very indepth and it was nice to have the videos saved to go back over and retain all the information being shared. I really enjoyed being on the forum and logging all the steps to my grow with Scott and Sara answering any questions I had along the way. Let's be real, there is A LOT of information here but my knowledge as a grower went up exponentially in the short 8 months since going through their program. My garden was rockin', with plant growth rates I'd never seen before (they never stalled). The Cresive Method is the real deal. I'm glad I signed up and I'm looking forward to joining their other classes. "

"Taking the Crescive Method Basic Training Course has offered a solid foundation in understanding the soil life around me while demystifying the woo to show a clear pathway to success through proper management of the mineral chemistry and microbial life. Scott and Sara walk you through from seed to harvest using analytical testing to refine supplemental nutrition and soil balance tailored to your farm’s specific needs. The biggest takeaway has been the change in your mindset to one that works with nature to bring out it’s best rather than one that dominates it. I’m confident that by taking this course you will understand all the considerations that go into managing and maintaining a dynamic living soil system with knowledge you can implement for the rest of your life. "

"Since I began my living soil educational journey 10 years ago, I have found the internet to be a huge source of muddy misinformation. In theory, the methods would sound good, but end up leading to pest pressure and/or poor plant health when put in practice. Grows promoting sustainable methods, leading themselves to a downward spiral of problems until either they go out of business or switch to what the regenerative movement does not want, cheap synthetic salt-based feeds and toxic IPM mids.

I had been blessed from the start to work with Scott and Sara while they were in their earlier days as Soil Food Web Consultants. I aligned with their drive to be data-driven over an emotional-based mindset when making costly choices in the home/commercial garden space. Any time the data has shown a currently used input was causing a failing state-regulated test, or an imbalance in minerals or biology, they have been quick to push the emotions aside and evolve. As they have grown and evolved , so have their educational platforms. They strive to make sure all students with different learning styles' needs are met. Being someone that personally needs a more visual and hands-on approach, they have developed and continue to develop material that fits my personal and educational needs. The weekly/monthly zoom calls, course materials, and active forum provide a wide range of educational resources in multiple formats. Not only do they want each student to understand the complexity of their efforts as working consultants, they also want them to be empowered to become self-proficient in each individual's own time frame. No matter where I am on my educational path, if they make a course, then sign me up!  "

"I needed to find someone who could give me the skills to do qualitative and quantitative analysis of the elements and soil microbiology. I needed someone who strived to use reductionist practices to steward, not dominate the dynamic living system. There is no one out there teaching this level of elemental balancing and microbial analysis and management. Most importantly, I could not believe I found consultants with the same philosophy that nature is the most efficient system and we should serve nature as our primary goal to achieve the highest level of genetic expression. Too many of my clients are passive naturalists that lack the skills and comprehension needed to manage a functional living soil.

Comprehension is the key in complex dynamic living systems.  We see this disconnect with Jeff Lowenfels wonderful Teaming With Microbes series of books. In the entire series I only recall him once stating, this is an important fact. It was in regards to the importance of being in the proper soil succession for a generative crop. After reading the books the vast majority of the industry puts great effort into creating a primary soil succession that is for vegetative growth. Having the data available doesn't guarantee comprehension. This is why the Crescive method has so much more to offer than systems of analysis. If you are an advanced farmer and realize the orthodox model is failing and you want to embark on the next orthodox, then the Crescive Method is for you. If you are new to living soil farming then you have the opportunity to learn what will be standard practices 20 years from now. 

After taking all of their courses, they leave you looking forward to future courses. At the same time, you're learning progresses because you get a one-year membership to their forum. You get detailed insight into various systems of farming from design to harvest. Most important for me has been the community support. Other members take the time to form study groups. It is a community that wants to rise together. Just like the soil, it is supportive and mutualistic. I am grateful that Crescive has offered these courses. They have taken my personal journey and consulting to the next level."
